#36531 [Opn->Fbk]: date() prints the wrong hour seemingly randomly

ID: 36531 Updated by: derick@php.net Reported By: tehughes at wisc dot edu -Status: Open +Status: Feedback Bug Type: Date/time related Operating System: linux PHP Version: 4.4.2 New Comment: The only thing that could cause this is when you are playing with the TZ environment variable in your scripts. Try to print out the timezone abbreviation in your script too and see what it does.

Reproduce code: --------------- echo "[[" . date("g:ia",39600) . "]]"; Expected result: ---------------- At this point I'm actually not sure what the correct time is. PHP gives me 4:00am or 6:00am depending on the page load. I have no idea what could be causing this. Actual result: -------------- [[6:00am]] -- next page load -- [[4:00am]] -- next page load -- [[4:00am]] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=36531&edit=1
